I'm a marquis in Datang

In terms of manufacturing in Xia Kingdom, there are actually more and more talents.

It's getting better and better.

Having nothing to say all night, Du Qi rested for the night, got up early the next morning, and bid farewell to Wang Qiulong after breakfast.Wang Qiulong, Wang Ping and his party sent Du Qi away. At the same time, all the people in the village also gathered to send Du Qi away in person.After Du Qi and his party had gone far, the people gradually dispersed.

Du Qi and his party continued to move forward.The direction of this journey was from the north, but it was quite peaceful along the way, and nothing happened again.Du Qi and his party returned to Gaochang, but never returned to the palace. Instead, they marched along the north of Gaochang Prefecture, from Gaochang Prefecture to Yanqi Prefecture, and then to Qiuci Prefecture, Gumo Prefecture, and Shule Prefecture. lock up.

Although many small things were encountered along the way, they were dealt with one by one.

Du Qi's inspection tour was actually extremely helpful for him to master the entire Xia Kingdom.Because Du Qi met countless people along the way and solved the problems of the people, countless people admired Du Qi even more, and recognized Du Qi for Xia Guo.

This is quite critical.

Another year has passed since Du Qi and his party returned to Gaochang City, and it will be the next year

Spring begins in February.At this time, Du Qi's complexion became darker, but the edges and corners were more distinct.When Du Qi returned to Wangcheng, Guan Zhilan was still a scribe, but he was under the cabinet.

Du Qi did not immediately summon the officials under his command, but went back to the harem first, on the one hand to see the child, on the other hand to take a short rest.After more than half a year, it's not easy to eat and sleep outside.

Accompanied by the family, there are children playing under the knees, and the body and mind are comfortable.Du Qi rested for a day, and started to deal with government affairs the next day. He called everyone together and asked about what happened in half a year.

This time, Du Ruhui and Du Gou also participated in the discussion.After all, Du Ruhui is in charge of government affairs, Du Gou is in charge of the population affairs of various places, and each of them is responsible for their own affairs. These are some things that have not been decided after deliberation.

Du Qi made decisions one by one, and after all the matters were dealt with, Du Qi did not mention the matter of women becoming officials for the time being, because there was no suitable opportunity right now.

Du Qi looked around at the crowd and said, "Is there anything else?"

Liu Zhengxi said: "Your Majesty, I have something to do."

Du Qi said: "Speak."

Liu Zhengxi stood up, with a solemn expression, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, Xia Guoli

So far, the country has been the most powerful in the Western Regions, and the people recognize Xia Guo, especially after the two wars between us and Datang, Xia Guo no longer has to consider Datang's attitude, let alone respect Datang as the suzerain country.Although Xia Guo's overall strength is still not comparable to that of Datang.However, the minister believed that the Xia Kingdom was enough to separate from the Tang Dynasty, and the king could go one step further and become the real founding emperor. "

As soon as these words came out, Du Ruhui's complexion changed slightly.He clenched his hand in his sleeve slightly, but he never spoke because he had no reason to stop it.

It is true that Du Ruhui did not want Datang and Du Qi to have a conflict, but Hou Junji assassinated Du Qi, and Datang attacked Xia, so although Du Ruhui and Li Shimin still had a relationship, in fact, because of one incident after another, In the end, it was impossible for Du Ruhui to return to Datang, and it was impossible for Du Ruhui to oppose Liu Zhengxi's proposal.

Dugou had no effect.

Even in his heart, he longed for Du Qi to become emperor.For the entire Du family, it is a good thing for Du Qi to become emperor.He didn't follow Li Shimin early on, and he didn't have much loyalty to Datang.

After Liu Zhengxi said, Shangguanyi looked at his words and saw that neither Du Ruhui nor Du Gou objected. He was overjoyed and immediately stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I agree with what Liu Shangshu said. Your Majesty is now only the king of the Xia Kingdom, which is a little inappropriate." , should be proclaimed the emperor, in order to show the honor of the king and the majesty of the king. My country, Xia, is not

Datang can bully at will. "

Following Shangguanyi's speech, the cabinet members, as well as officials from the six departments, five temples, one station and one prison spoke one after another. They all held the same opinion and agreed with Du Qi to proclaim himself emperor.

Even if Du Qi becomes emperor, their official ranks will not change, and even their power will not change, because only Du Qi's title will change.

The problem is that after Du Qi's name changed, Xia's status changed accordingly.And the status of those who are courtiers also changes accordingly, which is the intertwining of status and psychology at the same time.

The crowd is of the same opinion.

After Du Qi finished listening, each of them had a look of expectation in their eyes.Du Qi glanced at Du Ruhui, but Du Ruhui didn't have any influence and didn't speak, obviously acquiescing.

Du Qi said seriously: "Since the opinions are unified, call yourself emperor. Wang Wen, you are the minister of the Ministry of Rites, and you are familiar with allusions and etiquette. You are fully responsible for arranging this matter. If there is anything you don't understand, discuss it with Wang Ji, the Imperial Supervisor."

"The minister obeys the order!"

Wang Wen and Wang Ji answered at the same time.

Wang Wen cast a kind look at Wang Ji, because he really didn't understand the etiquette of proclaiming emperor.In this regard, Wang Ji is a great Confucian in the Central Plains, familiar with the classics,

With Wang Ji on the side assisting, Wang Wen will be much more relaxed.

Du Qi turned his gaze to Shangguanyi again, and ordered: "Shangguanyi, you draw up a letter of credence, stamp it with a ribbon, and then arrange for someone to send it to the Tang Dynasty. Since you have become independent, you must submit the letter of credence and know all directions, so that He founded the country and proclaimed himself emperor in a dignified way."

"The minister obeys the order!"

Shangguanyi should go down.

Immediately, Shangguanyi put his hands together again, bowed and saluted: "Shangguanyi, see Your Majesty."

"Chen Liu Zhengxi, see Your Majesty."

As the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Liu Zhengxi was the head of civil servants, when he heard Shangguanyi's words, he immediately understood, without even thinking about it, he immediately went to meet him.

Following the audience of Shangguanyi and Liu Zhengxi, the rest of the people also opened their mouths and bowed in salute.

For a while, they all came to see Du Qi.

They are all verbal referrals to His Majesty.

Du Qidao: "My lords, be flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Everyone thanked in unison, and then stood still.

At this moment, everyone has some slight changes, not only mentality

, and joy from the bottom of my heart.Not only happy for Du Qi, happy for Xia Guo, but also happy for themselves.

Chapter 977 Li Shimin's Transformation

Li Shimin's Transformation

February [-] is an auspicious day for the zodiac.

On this day, Du Qi proclaimed himself emperor in Gaochang, and made it known to the world, announcing the independence of Xia.For the people of the Xia Kingdom, this is a good thing, because the Great Xia Kingdom has since become independent and is no longer a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, so the whole country celebrates together.

For the enemy, Du Qi amnesty the world.

And on the day when Xia Guo Du Qi proclaimed himself emperor, Xia Guo's letter of credence was sent to Datang ahead of schedule, and it was precisely on February [-]th that the letter of credence had already been sent to the imperial city of Chang'an City.

Today's Du Qi seems to be a taboo in the Tang Dynasty.

Few are mentioned.

Many people even dare not mention it casually, after all, Li Shimin was crushed by Du Qi's hands twice.Especially the last time, Hou Junji was killed by Du Qi to sacrifice the flag, Su Dingfang and other Guazhou soldiers surrendered to Du Qi, and Duan Zhixuan was defeated and captured and suffered heavy losses.

A series of circumstances made Datang lose face.

Few people mentioned it in the ruling and opposition parties.

They were all worried about offending Long Yan.
